Summer Can Be a Challenge for Your Vehicle

Summertime brings tons of fun. From outdoor adventures to spontaneous road trips, summer is a great time to go out and explore. However, summer heat can bring a new set of challenges for your vehicle if it’s not properly prepared to battle the elements.

At Group 1 Ford of Kennesaw, we not only strive to provide you with education to keep your car in its best shape, but we also feature a well equipped and highly certified Service Center to keep your vehicle on the road performing its best.

Let’s explore some helpful Ford summer maintenance tips and discover how you can keep your Ford in its best shape this summer!

Keep things Cool this Summer

One of the first Ford maintenance tips that we recommend before summer heat starts sweltering is to keep your Ford cool both outside and in. This means performing both Coolant and A/C Service..

A/C Service – This type of service consists of a certified expert performing a check on your Ford’s air conditioning system. He or she will check for leaks and may even refill your system with freon to make sure that the cabin of your Ford will always be cool and comfortable when you turn on your air conditioning.

Coolant Service – Your coolant is responsible for keeping your engine cool and preventing it from overheating. However, engine coolant loses its peak performance after about three years. We recommend that you have yours changed every three years, or 36,000 miles.

If it’s been a while since your last coolant flush, schedule service with our experts today so your engine can beat the heat this summer!

Ensure Your Ford is Always Ready for the Next Adventure

Heat can have an adverse effect on the various components of your Ford. Here are some of the Ford maintenance services that we recommend before summer to ensure that your car, truck, SUV, or van is always ready for the next adventure.

Wiper Blades – Summer storms will have you reaching for your windshield wipers, but the blazing sun can dry them out and inhibit their ability to clear water from your windshield. If it’s been more than 12 months since your last wiper change, be sure to have the changed out to ensure that your visibility is clear all summer long.

Tires – Changing temperatures can affect your tire pressure and alter your vehicle’s handling. Your recommended tire pressure can be found on the driver’s side door sill. Check and adjust your tire pressure to make sure that your tires are ready for the next adventure.

Oil – Heat can cause your motor oil to degrade, increasing the friction inside your engine. If it’s been more than 5,000 miles since your last oil change, allow our experts to perform an oil change on your vehicle to have it ready for whatever road trips you have planned this summer.
